| Who | Chance | Applied | Drew |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyone | 11% (small sample) | — | 1 |

How It Hunted, 2025
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4018 | 23 | 16 | 70% |
| 4038 | 25 | 10 | 40% |
| 4053 | 25 | 13 | 52% |
| All of Unit 54 | 73 | 39 | 53% |
Adding up Idaho Department of Fish and Game's published lines for Unit 54 gives 73 hunters and 39 pronghorn taken in 2025, and 53% of them took a pronghorn (sum of published weapon rows). The first rows are hunters holding this license type; the rest of the area's hunters held something else. Idaho's figures are counts from mandatory hunter reports and check stations rather than survey estimates, so they behave differently from the survey states.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2024 draw, the latest on file, computed from Idaho Department of Fish and Game's published results (first-choice tags drawn ÷ first-choice applicants, as published). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
